With a crackle and hiss the tiny goblin materialized in the center of the cavernous chamber. Disoriented, he glanced quickly from side to side, taking in the astonished looks of the small party of battle weary adventurers who had summoned him, before, finally and fatefully, looking up into the rapidly descending jaws of an enormous dragon. In a tiny, squeaky, quivering voice he uttered the only words of his brief and ill-fated existence... "oh shit".

Please Scott, Give Me A Title

Any favorite campaign moments? I've been thinking of serializing our greyhawk campaign and I'd love to have what stood out as great or catastrophic memories. Thanks!

And this one time? At Bard Camp? We had received this powerful deck of magical cards to help ourselves in sticky situations. So we were saving it for just the right moment, and when that holy fuck dragon came at us we knew it was time. Someone flung a card and . . . a . . . kobold (goblin) appeared . . .

I still go back in my mind to those first few sessions when these unexpected personalities started popping out of our mouths and developing a life of their own. Me anxious to do something "bardic," which led to a barroom seduction, which somehow became rock star slut. Some unfortunate rolls leading to a reputation of incapable pick-pocket. A holier-than-thou cleric.

Leelu trying to be all sneaky-assassin in the middle of the night, only to walk in on the two big baddies screwing, screwing up her attack, and running back to the party screaming for help.

There was that time the party almost split simply because Lummox was too much of an insecure pussy to swallow being called "stinky." ;-) Oh, and the time Leelu hired a young boy to drug and rape Degolar.

One of Degolar's proudest moments: out mind-flaying a mind-flayer for control of Lummox's mind.

She did not! She hired a young boy to dress up like a girl and get picked up by Degolar. And she hired the bartender to drug him. The only rape involved was Degolar disguising himself and Leelu and going after Torias.

Wow, so many that it may require a post of its own. I echo some of the one above, such as the incompetent thievery of Leelu, and the emerging personalities (the cleric being snide and derisive to the "assassin"). And in no particular order:

Hadrian's awful encounters with trolls and his subsequent intense fear of them.

The heroic greater turning of the kuotoan undead (what was his name again?)

The early intrigues in Verbobonc.

The bard playing and the dwarf dancing naked in the square to allow their companions to slip unnoticed into an unfriendly temple.
